I've started modifying the Database SDK example to support resources that are not in MSSQL so that we can continue to use our external resources that are in different database formats until we can migrate our entire application.

I've gotten it to load and save the data appropriately to the new AppointmentExternalResources link table, however when I edit an appointment and click save it thinks there are duplicate resources in the this.Resources of the SqlAppointment and then gives an error when saving the ScheduleViewRepository.Context.

I've made the following changes:

SqlResourceTypes - Added ExternalResource (bit)
New table SqlAppointmentExternalResources
- SqlAppointments_SqlAppointmentId (int)
- SqlResourceTypes_SqlResourceTypeId (int)
- ResourceName (nvarchar(100)) - Used for the key value of the external database

Code wise:

public partial class SqlAppointmentExternalResource

{

#region Constants and Variables

short bStat = 0;

SqlExternalResource externalResource;

#endregion

#region Properties

public SqlExternalResource ExternalResource

{

get

{

if (externalResource == null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.ResourceName))

{

externalResource = new SqlExternalResource();

externalResource.ResourceTypeId = this.SqlResourceTypes_SqlResourceTypeId;

switch (this.SqlResourceTypes_SqlResourceTypeId)

{

case 2:

//load from external database

externalResource.ResourceName = "XXX";

externalResource.DisplayName = "DISPLAY_NAME";

break;

case 4:

//load from external database

externalResource.ResourceName = "ADMIN";

externalResource.DisplayName = "ADMINISTRATION";

break;

}

return externalResource;

}

set

{

externalResource = value;

this.OnPropertyChanged("ExternalResource");

}

#endregion

}

SqlAppointment was changed as follows:

public IList Resources

{

    get

    {

        if (this.resources == null)

        {

            this.resources = new List<object>();

            foreach (var item in this.SqlAppointmentExternalResources.ToList())

                this.resources.Add(item.ExternalResource);

            foreach (var item in this.SqlAppointmentResources.Select(ar => ar.SqlResource).ToList())

                this.resources.Add((IResource)item);

        }

        return this.resources;

    }

}

void IEditableObject.EndEdit()

{

    #region Standard Telerik Appointment Resources

    var temp = this.SqlAppointmentResources.ToList();

    var resources = this.Resources.OfType<SqlResource>().ToList();

    foreach (var item in temp)

        ScheduleViewRepository.Context.SqlAppointmentResources.DeleteObject(item);

    foreach (var sqlResource in resources)

        ScheduleViewRepository.Context.AddToSqlAppointmentResources(new SqlAppointmentResource { SqlAppointment = this, SqlResources_SqlResourceId = sqlResource.SqlResourceId });

    #endregion

    #region External Appointment Resources

    var temp1 = this.SqlAppointmentExternalResources.ToList();

    var externalResources = this.Resources.OfType<SqlExternalResource>().ToList();

    foreach (var item in temp1)

    {

        ScheduleViewRepository.Context.SqlAppointmentExternalResources.DeleteObject(item);

    }

    foreach (var sqlResource in externalResources)

    {

        ScheduleViewRepository.Context.AddToSqlAppointmentExternalResources(new SqlAppointmentExternalResource { SqlAppointment = this, SqlResourceTypes_SqlResourceTypeId = sqlResource.ResourceTypeId, ResourceName = sqlResource.ResourceName });

    }

    #endregion

    var removedExceptionAppointments = this.exceptionAppointments.Except(this.SqlExceptionOccurrences.Select(o => o.Appointment).OfType<SqlExceptionAppointment>());

    foreach (var exceptionAppointment in removedExceptionAppointments)

    {

        var excResources = exceptionAppointment.SqlExceptionResources.ToList();

        foreach (var item in excResources)

            ScheduleViewRepository.Context.SqlExceptionResources.DeleteObject(item);

    }

    ScheduleViewRepository.Context.SaveChanges();

}
So in the EndEdit function it has 4 resources in this.Resource and 2 are duplicates of the original 2. I'm not sure where these duplicates are coming from. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

Multiple instances of MultiSelectBehaviour

My currently program allows multiple instances of Views and using the code from the link below the SelectedItems property doesn't update for any instances created after the first. The first will always be update and trigger.

<telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Items, Mode=TwoWay}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedTransaction, Mode=TwoWay}" "
  IsEnabled="{Binding IsNotBusy, Mode=OneWay}"
      SelectionMode="Extended"
  Framework:MultiSelectBehavior.SelectedItems="{Binding SelectedTransactions, Mode=TwoWay}">

https://github.com/telerik/xaml-sdk/blob/master/GridView/BindingSelectedItemsFromViewModel/MySelectedItemsBindingBehavior.cs

I was wondering if anyone can help me with this, my goal is to have each view's SelectedItems populate no matter how many instances are created.

How to specify the theme of control template extracted using Blend

Hi team,

As it's known to most telerik users, we can use Blend to extract the style for each Rad control. And i notice it seems to be with Office black theme. What if i want to extract the style with other themes such as Windows 8? i don't want to go through all files under Themes.Implicit\WPF40\Windows8\Themes. And one of painpoint of using the latter way is for a complex control, i need to scan the whole file to get the whole style of it. So any thoughts?

Possible minor style issue with the background of the Icon for a RibbonGroup

I have a RadRibbonView with several RadRibbonGroup(s) and each RadRibbonGroup has its Icon property set. I am also using the Visual Studio 2013 Theme (dark). When the RadRibbonView is reduced in size, and there is not enough space to show the whole RadRibbonGroup, it will collapse and show just the Icon for the RadRibbonGroup. The background of the RadRibbonGroup Icon is white and it looks pretty out-of-place when using the Visual Studio 2013 dark theme or any dark theme I would assume. Should the background of the RadRibbonGroup Icon be transparent? I would assume it should look the same as a RadRibbonButton. Is there a way I can style the RadRibbonGroup so that its Icon does not show a white background?

Using SaveLaout and LoadLayout when binding to a collection using RadDocking.PanesSource

I am trying to define the panes for the RadDocking control using its PaneSource binding to an ObservableCollection in a ViewModel and use the SaveLayout and LoadLayout methods to persist the layout of the RadDocking control between sessions. The first question I guess I have is “Should this work?” Does the RadDockingPanesSource and the Save and Load layout methods work together? Below are the important pieces I have created trying to put this together.

<telerik:RadDocking x:Name=”radDocking” PanesSource=”{Binding Panes}”>

<telerik:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition=”DockedLeft”>

<telerik:RadPaneGroup x:Name=”LeftPaneGroup” />

</telerik:RadSplitContainer >

<telerik:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition=”DockedRight”>

<telerik:RadPaneGroup x:Name=”RightPaneGroup” />

</telerik:RadSplitContainer >

<telerik:RadSplitContainer InitialPosition=”DockedBottom”>

<telerik:RadPaneGroup x:Name=”BottomPaneGroup” />

</telerik:RadSplitContainer >

<telerik:RadDocking.DockingPanesFactory>

<local:MyDockingPanesFactory />

</telerik:RadDocking.DockingPanesFactory>

</telerik:RadDocking>

The XAML above shows the RadDocking control in my MainWindow.xaml file.

public class MyDockingPanesFactory : DockingPanesFactory {

protected override void AddPane(RadDocking radDocking, RadPane radPane) {

RadDocking.SetSerializationTag(radPane, ((DockPaneViewModel)radPane.DataContext).SerializationTag);

RadPaneGroup leftPaneGroup = radDocking.SplitItems.ToList().FirstOrDefault(i => i.Control.Name == “LeftPaneGroup”) as RadPaneGroup;

if (leftPaneGroup != null) {

if ((DockPaneViewModel)radPane.DataContext).InitialLocation == DockLocation.DockLeft) {

leftPaneGroup.Items.Add(radPane);

}

RadPaneGroup rightPaneGroup = radDocking.SplitItems.ToList().FirstOrDefault(i => i.Control.Name == “RightPaneGroup”) as RadPaneGroup;

if (rightPaneGroup != null) {

if ((DockPaneViewModel)radPane.DataContext).InitialLocation == DockLocation.DockRight) {

rightPaneGroup.Items.Add(radPane);

}

RadPaneGroup bottomPaneGroup = radDocking.SplitItems.ToList().FirstOrDefault(i => i.Control.Name == “BottomPaneGroup”) as RadPaneGroup;

if (bottomPaneGroup != null) {

if ((DockPaneViewModel)radPane.DataContext).InitialLocation == DockLocation.DockBottom) {

bottomPaneGroup.Items.Add(radPane);

}

protected override RadPane CreateRadPaneForItem(object item) {

if (item is DockPaneViewModel) {

return new RadPane() {

DataContext = item,

Content = item

};

} else {

throw new ArgumentException(“Invalid Type”);

}

The code above shows my DockingPaneFactory class and how is initially positions my ViewModels as RadPane(s). Notice in CreateRadPaneForItem I am setting the DataContext and the Content of the RadPane to the current DockPaneViewModel in the PanesSource. Setting the Content to the ViewModel will allow binding using a DataTemplate with a DataType defined (this is not shown). My DockPaneViewModel defines several notifiable properties like Header, IsActive, IsHidden, IsPinned, CanDockInDocumentHost, SerializationTag and defines its own InitialLocaiton that is used by the AddPane method in the DockingPaneFactory (above).

public abstract class DockPaneViewModel : ViewModelBase {

//Header, IsActive, IsHidden, IsPinned, CanDockInDocumentHost, SerializationTag

}

The code above is my DockPaneViewModel and which notifiable properties I have defined. These properties are bound their equivalent properties in the RadPane using a Style.

<Application … >

<Application.Resources>

<ResourceDictionary>

<Style TargetType=”{x:Type telerik:RadPane}” BasedOn=”{StaticResource RadPaneStyle}”>

<Setter Property=”Header” Value=”{Bindign Header, Mode=TwoWay}” />

<Setter Property=”IsActive” Value=”{Bindign IsActive, Mode=TwoWay}” />

<Setter Property=”IsHidden” Value=”{Bindign IsHidden, Mode=TwoWay}” />

<Setter Property=”IsPinned” Value=”{Bindign IsPinned, Mode=TwoWay}” />

<Setter Property=”CanDockInDocumentHost” Value=”{Bindign CanDockInDocumentHost, Mode=TwoWay}” />

</Style>

</ResourceDictionary>

</Application.Resources>

</Application>

The code above shows the custom RadPaneStyle that binds the properties in my DockPaneViewModel to the RadPane. This Style is defined in the Application Resources.

private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e){

MainWindow mainWindow = new MainWindow();

mainWindow.DataContext = new MainWindowViewModel();

mainWindow.Show();

}

The code above shows how I am creating and showing the MainWindow and setting its DataContext.

public class MainWindowViewModel : ViewModelBase {

public ObservableCollection<DockPaneViewModel> Panes { get; private set; }

public MainWindowViewModel(){

Panes = new ObservableCollection<DockPaneViewModel>(

new ViewModel1(),new ViewModel2(),new ViewModel3()

);

}

The code above is my MainWindowViewModel which shows the ObservableColleciton of DockViewModels. I am just showing a hard-coded set of three ViewModels being added to the Panes collection. In the real project I am using an IOC container to create all classes that inherit from DockPaneViewModel which get added to the Panes collection.

private void RadRibbonWindow_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e) {

using (System.IO.Stream stream = new System.IO.FileStream(App.LayoutSettings, System.IO.FileMode.Create)){

this.radDocking.SaveLayout(stream);

}

protected override void OnSourceInitialized(EventArgs e) {

using (System.IO.Stream stream = new System.IO.FileStream(App.LayoutSettings, System.IO.FileMode.Open)) {

this.radDocking.LoadLayout(stream);

}

Lastly the code above shows closing event and the override for the OnSourceInitialized. This is where I am saving and loading the layout XML file for the RadDocking control. The XML file that gets created does not seem to have any IsPinned properties. At first I thought I forgot to add IsPinned as a notifiable property to the DockPaneViewModel but that was not the case. I also thought I forgot to add IsPinned to the XAML Style that binds the properties between the RadPane and the DockPaneViewModel but that was not the case either.

I am not exactly sure why this is not working. I am not 100% sure if the RadDocking.PanesSource can be used with the SaveLayout and LoadLayout methods. If anyone could give me some direction or advice it would be greatly appreciated. I am not sure what to try next.

IsSnapToItemsEnabled and IsSnapToGridEnabled

Hi,

When IsSnapToItemsEnabled and IsSnapToGridEnabled are both true (the default setting), it's not possible to snap to the grid line right after an item line.

Don't know if this is intentional, but it makes it difficult to move everything by 1 grid line when all the nodes are spaced with 2 grid lines in between.. See screenshot to see what I mean.

Regards,

Bayram

How to filter item's of the complex type?

Hi!

Is there a way to filter item's of the complex type in RadDataFilter?

I know that fIlter works fine with simple entity classes like that:

public enum MyEnum {A, B, C};

public class ClassA

{

public string Name { get; set; }

public int Count { get; set; }

public MyEnum Type { get ;set; }

}

So I can request from a database some filtered data like that:

var filters = new CompositeFilterDescriptorCollection();

filters.AddRange(MyRadDataFilter.FilterDescriptors);

filters.LogicalOperator = MyRadDataFilter.LogicalOperator;

using (var context = new DbContext())

{

var result = context.Set<ClassA>().Where(filters);

var data = result as IEnumerable<ClassA>;

return data.ToList();

}

And it returns me the data that matches my filter. For example, all ClassA items, where Count > 5.

But I can't find out a way to do that with complex types. Here is one example:

public class AddressClass

{

public string Country { get; set; }

public string City { get; set; }

}

public enum GenderEnum { Male, Female };

public class Person

{

public string Name { get; set; }

public int Age { get; set; }

public GenderEnum Gender { get; set; }

}

public class Doc

{

public DateTime Date { get; set; }

public string Content { get; set; }

public AddressClass Address { get; set; }

public List<Person> Persons { get; set; }

}

So I have to load Doc's that mathes some filter like that :
All docs, where Address.City is NewYork
or
All docs in which there is a person older than 22 years.
And so I need to give users the ability to set the conditions in the filter.

How could I do?

I would be glad to get a working example project.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks.

Change background color of modal RadWindow (WPF)

Hi,

Is there any way to change the background color of modal RadWindow to make them looks like the standard ChildWindow that exists in Silverlight ?

After looking for that info on the forums, it seems it's possible in Silverlight and WPF (XBAP) but not in "normal" WPF....

Any ideas on how to fix this ? Any workaround ?

Thanks !

Multiple DataFormatString for columns

Hello,

I have Multiple Format String for columns. I want to binding Multiple DataFormatString for columns. But it doesn't work.

My source:

View

<telerik:RadGridView Name="GridWatchPriceTable" ItemsSource="{Binding ModelData.LstFeeTable}" Style="{DynamicResource GridViewCustomStyle}"
IsReadOnly="False" >

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding HighPrice}"
DataFormatString="{Binding NumberDecimalString}"
Header="{StaticResource ListFeeTable_High}" TextAlignment="Right" IsReadOnly="True"/>

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerik:RadGridView>

In ViewModel, I Set value for item in LstFeeTable

private ListPriceTableInfoModel UpdateDataModel(Symbol item, ListPriceTableInfoModel model)
{
model.SymbolId = item.SymbolId;
model.SymbolName = item.ContractName;

var baseSymbolInfo = Operator.Instance.GetBaseSymbolById(item.BaseSymbolId);
if (baseSymbolInfo != null)
{
model.FullName = baseSymbolInfo.FullName;
model.ShortName = baseSymbolInfo.ShortName;
model.BaseSymbolId = baseSymbolInfo.BaseSymbolId;
model.NumberDecimal = baseSymbolInfo.NumbreDecimal;
model.NumberDecimalString = ClientUtils.GetFormatString(baseSymbolInfo,true);
var exchange = Operator.Instance.GetExchangeInfoById(baseSymbolInfo.ExchangeId);
model.Exchange = exchange != null ? exchange.ShortName : "";
}

model.ClosePrice = (decimal)100.6654;
model.OpenPrice = (decimal)100.6654;
model.HighPrice = (decimal)100.6654;
model.LowPrice = (decimal)100.6654;
model.YesterdayClose = (decimal)100.6654;
model.YesterdaySettlement = (decimal)100.6654;
model.TotalVolume = null;
model.NetChg = (decimal)100.6654;
model.NetChgPercent = (decimal)100.6654;
model.VolBid = null;
model.Ask = (decimal)100.6654;
model.VolAsk = null;
model.VolAskOld = null;
model.VolBidOld = null;
model.BidOld = (decimal)100.6654;
model.VolBidOld = null;
model.ClosePriceOld = (decimal)100.6654;
model.LastTrade = (decimal)100.6654;
model.LastTradeOld = (decimal)100.6654;
model.Bid = (decimal)100.6654;
model.BidOld = (decimal)100.6654;
return model;
}

I set property NumberDecimalString with function GetFormatString but it doesn't work. Please Help me

Thank for watching!
